Default Fiesta - from cramped, to overpriced, to problem riddled

Seems that new dual clutch transmission isn't all it's cracked up to be. Just wait till the new Focus comes with this transmission and questionable Direct Injection reliability issues.

i test drove one of these and thought it was junk and too hyped up for what it is. freeway driving was next to impossible with the double side mirror deal and you could hardly see out the rear view cause the seats sat soo damn high. I only drove the automatic tranny version and just couldnt handle how short the gears were for an automatic, had it been the manual version i probably wouldnt have minded it too much. It did have plenty of power though so ford actually did something right with it.

I just looked at one today and the center console made me feel queasy. Then I looked at the 20K sticker price and backed away slowly.

I mean, a Fit sport w/ auto trans is $500 cheaper.

I think the Fiesta can hit 22K, and it doesn't even offer an indash navigation display.
